Next Monday Is the time Of the year when
young men receive endearing epistles, in
seven colors, froRa their admirers, announc.
ing what doakeys, simpletons, blockheads,
spoonies, eteetera. they consider them and
the young ladies are delighted to know that
they are looked upon as slovens, blinkers,
novel readers, old maids and so forth, BY
their gentlemen friends. There is some
thing exquisisely beautiful and aesthetic In
this practice CD II Is refinement boiled
down--in horn Sending valentines was
very pretty custom in the days when
Bobby Burns or even Dick Swiveler, wrote
them, In their own hand writing but the

means scrape together few bits and send

We complain at an occasional cold snap

of these things. ASS matter offact, though,

people to be dissatisfied with any locality.
This gentleman tried to raise grapes. One

pretty good. II was an exception when

The value Of good railroad transportation
and competition is illustrated by the fact
that while wheat is 60 cents at Jacksonville
it is about I8 cents more at Albany. The

IL Portrait OF tho Pope.

Under the title of Souvenirs dun
Journalistic Franchise a Rcme," NJ.
Henrides Houy. whose intimate rela-
tions with the Vatican are well known,
has Just written an interesting book on
the ins and outs of the Vatican '.prison."
Here is his sketch of the Pope himself:
s.Leo XIII. blcsses his audiences with q
graceful and kingly gesture. BE has a
merry mouth. His smile does not pos
sess that sardonic Voltarian expression
found in so many of his photographs.
On the contrary, it is rather gentle and
paternal. His eyes are very black and
brilliant. His features, ascetic and
strongly marked, have become benevo-
lent and engaging. He must have had
great difficulty to accommodate his
countenancc, such as nature made it, to
the august role of holy fa;hership. Per-
haps the soul of Pope modiiies the eX-
terror lineaments in the long run. Like
St. Francois dc Sales, who was bern
dogmatic and choleric, but who be-
came. by continual self-subjection, an
angel of sweetness, Leo XII. on being
made Pope must have overcome, or al
least subdued. violent character. His
holiness is still vigorous, in spite Of his
leanness and senile trembling. His
hair is white, and arranged in curls
over his temples. His cassock seems to
envelop only the shadow of u body, just
enough humanity TO hold soul. He
speaks very slowly, particularly when
he speaks in French. In Italian he inn
provises with rapidity, but in French he
has to call on his memory, which is ex-
cellent. This slowness gives singular
relief to the utterances of Pope Leo.
The action precedes rather than accom-
panies the word. With his arms ex-
tended he seems to invite the whole
universe to come and receive his
thoughts. The oratorical action of his
holiness is in reality curious study.
1t can hardly be called classic, but it
gives to his speech an academic breadth
and impassioned vivacity not to be
found in the printed text. Nobody
reading his allocutions would ever
imagine the effect they produced on de-
livery. Unlike PiuX L., who allowed
himself to be carried away by his fiery
eloquence, and who always altered his
discourses before they were printed,
Leo XII. has little to correct; his
speeches are meditated, weighed, and
learned beforehand. remember of be-
ing at St. Peters when he addressed
seven thousand Italian pilgrims Twas
too far off to hear what he said. His
gesticulatiOn was excessively violent.
The next day expected to read terri
BILE philippe; it was honeyed homily.

Death Of Mrs. S. A. Sharp.

Mrs. Sharp,mother ofMrs. Col.

HOW ANTS LIVE.
Thei- Love of Cleanliness and Their Modes
of Burial.

In spite of the multifarious duties and
tasks that are imposed on these tiny
burglars, they still find time to clean
and adorn their worthy little persons,
says writer in the Cosmopolitan. No
spot, no atom of dust or anything else
uncleanly will they tolerate on their
bodies. They get rid of the dirt with
the brushy tufts on their feet or with
their tongue. They act, for all the
world, like domestic cats when they
clean and lick themselves; and they as
sist one another at the toilet precisely
like monkeys. Their sense of cleanli-
ness goes SO far that the naturalist often
finds, to his unpleasant surprise, the
colored marks that he had applied with
so much care on his 'strial ants" re-
moved by their dirt-hatlng friends.
They keep their dwelling just as cleanly.
But the conveying away of their de-
ceased brethren, whose dead bodies they
appear TO regard with the greatest anti
pathy, gives them more trouble than
anything else. When some members
of an ant community. which Mr.. Cook
kept imprisoned, died and could not be
removed. those remaining seemed af-
fected with the greatest horror. For
days the insects ran about seeking q
way out, and ceased only when COM
pletely exhausted. The ants belonging
to the componotus species seized the
dead and threw them into a water-pail,
which they converted into a sepulcher.
Ordinarily, though, the ants are said to
treat their dead with more reverence.
They even possess their own graveyards,
which lie in the vicinity of their nests.
They convey their deceased companions
thither, where they lay them down in
orderly little heaps or in rows.
1t is only the corpses of their fellows,
however, that they treat in this man
ner. Dead strangers they throw out
like something unclean, or tear the
body in pieces. Even between the
master and slaves of the same COM
munity Miss Treat says she has obscrv-
ed dIssimiliar mode of burial While
the masters find their last rcpose in a
special graveyard, side by side, the
slaves lie like heaped-up refuse near
the nest, despised equally in death as in
life
The ant cemeteries are often thickly |
for their life is short. The !
male lives only through one summer; the |
females live somewhat longer. and the |
workers die of old age in the Sth OF 10th |
year.

Ella Whecler-W ilcox, the great post.
sss ffom the West whose beautiful
Poems of Passion have made her
famous the world over. is one Of the
best-known ladies of this quietly busy
manufacturing and thoroughly ortho-
dox New England city.
Her face is familiar one on the
streets, and she is gazed at probably
more than any twenty women in the
city. Strangers in town are not con-
sidered as having seen half of the city S
attractions unless they have had the
pleasure of staring at Mrs. Wilcox either
as she rides slong in her carriage or
dashes through the bustl;ng thorough
fares on her blooaed steed.
Mrs. Wilcox is one of the best eques-
triennes in the county, if not in the
State. Beautiful and poetic as she looks
when on horseback she is seen at her
best when walking alone.
With head held high and with a firm
step--a stride that Mary Anderson
might almost envy-hcr graceful. viii
lowy figure the admiration of all be-
holders, she makes her way, turning
neither to the right nor to the left, never
locking back to gaze at the new spring
bonnet of some sister who Is going in
an opposite direction. Millinery store
windows flaunt their attractions in
vain, and announcements of great bar
gains in dry goods have no charm for
the poetess.
She appears oblivious to all that is
going on, and has the appearance of
one who is in deep communion with
the muses..
Mrs Wilcox is popular with those OF
her sex in this city whose minds are
able to rise above the literary exigen.
cies Of the cook book or the fashion ga
zette.
Mr.. Wilcox is one of the most popular
men in Meriden and is a man who
would be popular in any town before
he bad been there a week. he is q
member Of the fashionable home club
and several other social organizations,
and is one of the 'big" men of Meriden
